Meeting held September 19, 2018

The City of St. Albert and Sturgeon County’s Annexation Negotiating Committee held a regularly scheduled meeting on September 19, 2018 to discuss St. Albert’s potential annexation of a portion of Sturgeon County. The Municipal Government Board attended the meeting and made a presentation regarding the annexation process. The Committee also reviewed several recent annexations, which provided valuable background information to assist them in their work.

During the regular September 11 Council meeting, Council approved first reading of the proposed Traffic Bylaw 1419/18. The current bylaw in place relating to “Regulating traffic within the boundaries of Sturgeon County” was last reviewed and approved in 2013. As part of regular department activities, reviews of bylaws are undertaken to ensure Sturgeon County’s current bylaw(s) are consistent with recently established Provincial legislation, policies, and procedures.

Once comments are collected and considered, additional amendments may be brought forth to Council for consideration and second and third readings will be scheduled.

Copies of the proposed changes are available at County Centre and online byclicking here.
